Originally released as the "501® Z," these 1954 501® jeans represent Levi's® expansion into new territory. Up to this point, Levi's® were primarily worn out West, where they had earned a loyal following. East Coasters, however, were largely unfamiliar with this button fly work pant. In order to familiarize the East Coast with this American classic, Levi's® took the original 501® Shrink-to-Fit™ jean and replaced the classic button fly with a zipper, and named it the "501® Z." It retained all the other details loved by longtime wearers: the famed silhouette, rivets and tough-but-flexible denim. Eventually, retailers began providing customers with both options—the 501® jean and its zippered brother, the 501® Z. Today, we recreated the latter in classic selvedge denim for these 1954 501® jeans to help tell the story of the 501® and its evolution through the decades.
